2011 recruit Demetrius Hart update from ESPN Insider

http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=Southeast_Recruiting

Synopsis for those without Insider:
-Demetrius is on the ESPN 150 watch list and was teammates with Ricardo Miller.
-We still lead on Demetrius.
-Miami and Florida State are going to be tough competition.
-He attended several Miami games this year. Miami is probably the team to beat after us.
-The Florida State connection is current teammate and Florida State commit Kenny Shaw.

If Hart commits, do we give him #20? At 5'8" 175 lbs, it'd be deja vu and oddly comforting...the obvious answer is no. But obvious leads to very little blog-related hilarity.

(Yes, Mike Hart had about 20 lbs on Demetrius, thanks for stashing your red pens fact-checker-Nazis).

Edit: Sorry, for the miss on Kenny Shaw, corrected...

Kenny Shaw committed to Florida State.

ESPN 150 Watch List is top 150 for every position. So it's kinda worthless.

"I have offers from Miami (Fla.), Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Clemson, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, Duke, Florida International and some others," Hart said.

I love this offer list. We need a superback in the 2011 class, and Hart will be our #1 target.

Thanks West Texas, I corrected the teams. He visited Miami several times so I'd still guess that's the team to beat judging by this article...hopefully we'll stay on top.

It's not top 150 for every position. There's only about 330 players on the list.

It would certainly be funny for him to wear #20, but he'd have to wait for his sophmore year since Shaw has it right now.

I really hope we get him, sounds like he's get the jets and skills to be a game changer.

I know from experience dude. If you know what I mean.

miami took three very good backs this recruiting cycle. florida state hasn't had a big time rb recruit the last couple of seasons.

According to the Colts website, he's shrunk an inch and gained 30 since high school. I guess Woodley & Harris tackled him too many times in practice thus compacting him slightly.

Originally he said he might commit when he visited, but then more recently Hart said he was going to take his time with things, and do more visits, etc.
